South African model Genevieve Morton has taken the modeling world by storm. She made her first big appearance in the 2010 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and was asked to come back for the next five issues. If that isn't a success story, we don't know what is.

She's also appeared on the front cover of GQ and Esquire, was named "Sexiest Woman in the World" by FHM readers and has been in a number of TV shows, music videos and movies, including Sharknado 3 and Horrible Bosses 2.

In her spare time, she participates in charity runs, golf and softball tournaments — and even sky dives for a good cause.

Did you have a childhood nickname? What was it?
I didn’t have a childhood nickname unfortunately, but if I did I would like to think it would be something very funny.

Who was your biggest childhood crush?
I can't say that I had a childhood crush. I was too preoccupied with art and crafts and playing outside. Being from South Africa gives you the opportunity to experience life in a very unique way.

What's your favorite Snapchat filter?
I tend to mess around with the filters which have the locations on. I like to show all the different places I go.

What qualities would make you swipe right immediately?
I wouldn't swipe right ever because I am not a fan of online dating, if I don't meet the person organically I probably won't like them anyway.

What's the best gift you've ever received from a significant other?
The best gift I ever received was being thrown a surprise birthday party, mostly because it was extremely thoughtful and caught me completely unawares. When a person takes time to think of things you would enjoy, it is far more meaningful than anything money can buy.

What's the worst thing a guy could do on a date?
The worst thing a person can do on date is say that they have Googled who you are start asking questions about something they had to have read on Google — because I didn't tell them. What's the point of going out with someone if you have already made up your mind about who they are based on what you have seen online?

What is your dream date?
My dream date is really not to go on dates, I don't enjoy them and I prefer to get to know people over time to see what type of a person they really are — are they capable of hanging out with you without the expectation of sex?

What's your biggest guilty pleasure?
My biggest guilty pleasure is taking the weekends to myself and not allowing myself to bothered with my phone or who is calling me on those days. Taking time out has become a necessity in my life, I can't give of myself unless I am taking care of me.

Anything else you would like to plug?
I created a 2017 calendar, which my followers had been requesting me to do for a number of years. It's an exciting project. The photographer, Derek Riker, and I had been talking about putting beautiful imagery in a fine art manner for a long time. I thought this was a perfect opportunity to make something that is sexy but beautiful at the same time. It's difficult to shoot nudes with someone, but I am very comfortable with Derek, he brings out a fun relaxed side in my personality, which we wanted to showcase. After working on the images for over two years we finally felt ready to put it out; the response has been overwhelming. We partnered with a charity, Breast and Prostate Health, giving $1 from every calendar sold. It was important for me to find a charity that resonated, and being that my followers are mostly male I found this fitting.
